Here is a photo that I really like of Samuel and Bronte together today at the track...deep in conversation perhaps??
'Oops! I haven't updated here in a while!' Sorry for those who do actually read...
Photos from today - we went to the motorbike track (well it IS Sunday after all!) and I took quite a few photos with Stan's camera...cool Panasonic point and shoot thing!
But last week I purchased a DSLR - digital SLR camera...yay! I have been saving my pennies for quite some time - using birthday money that I get every year from Stan's mum and sister, Ailsa. So....I bought a PENTAX K200D which is fabulous.
One of the reasons I bought this camera is that many moons ago in another life, I used to study Art. Included in the Study of art was Photography, not to mention sculpture and printmaking. Anyway, way back in the year dot, my brother and father bought me a fabulous SLR which, at the time, was Camera of the Year. It was a Pentax ME Super and I have a few lenses for it.
As the old lenses for the ME can be used on the K200D, I thought why not?? So I bought it for a great price from JB Hi Fi - $621.00 to be exact - yay! Not bad for a 10 MP DSLR I reckon.
Anyway - I have taken about 222 photos with the K200D - all of the cat! Will show you them another time! lol
A slightly sad and VERY frustrated Zachary! Today at the track he just was not riding to his best ability and he was very teary. I must admit, he was tired - after all I went out last night with some old highschool friends and I didn't get home until around 2am. Of course, Stan was in 'charge' of the kids and Stan went off to bed at 9pm. The kids did not go until way way after that apparently....
Another reason that he is frustrated is that he has had a broken finger for 6 weeks now. Very very difficult to ride with a broken middle finger.... It happened at school at the end of last term. He tripped over, his friend tripped over him and stood on Zachary's hand. Long story short, he has a Salter-Harris Fracture type II. He is going for his third x-ray on Wednesday and 6th doctor appointment (not including the specialist appt!) next week. Hopefully we will have some better news...
Here he is in action...a close up shot!
The colourful Bronte...love this photo!!
Below are a series of shots showing Bronte in one of the trees in our backyard. She loves to climb this tree - as does Zachary. Now she has put all manner of items in the tree and while I was hanging out the washing this afternoon, I looked up and saw this cacophony of colour! I had to snap away - again using Stan's point and shoot camera!
